Overview
We seek to raise funds for our Family Care Program which meets the needs of children born with craniofacial abnormalities and their families. These children often require continuing surgical treatment to correct their conditions, but they are hindered by limited access to proper craniofacial care. The small number of craniofacial centers and surgeons available requires families to travel far from home over extended periods of time at great expense. Without treatment to correct and restore their face and head, these children risk death or living their entire lives in suffering, shame and hiding. Because the costs are so great and the need is so urgent, the Family Care Program through the WCF makes access to these surgeries possible, assisting with the secondary costs of ongoing treatment. Not only are the appearances of these children transformed, but most importantly, they are afforded a chance to live healthier, more normal lives.
